Arborists hate Bradford pear trees. They’re the ones that have white flowers and smell like cum. That’s not even why we hate them though.
I wrote a mobile app years ago for a company that surveyed power lines to figure out what trees had to be cut away. They gave me a list of something like 800 tree species and I was like "do you guys really know what all these trees look like?" They did, it was a very impressive knowledge set.
A fun fact about power lines in rural areas: property owners generally get compensated monetarily when their trees have to be trimmed for this, and the amount they get is dependent on the species of tree. So the surveyors would usually find all kinds of incredibly exotic shit planted directly under the lines, basically a cash crop for people living in the middle of nowhere. This is probably a huge and under-appreciated factor in the spread of invasive species.
Anyone using a phone hates clankers.
There's one automated system I need to call regularly at work that does not give me the option of dialing numbers and forces me to speak to it. It lists the options it can understand, but I can't just press a number to move on. Then it asks me to say and spell my first name, then say my last name (which it guesses the spelling of incorrectly) and pretends to type while it's processing. Why are we doing this?
Eye doctors hate bungee cords. Be careful with those! ER doctors hate 4th of July.
ER Docters hate
.... I think the list might go on and on
School bus drivers hate landscapers. And Amazon delivery drivers, but at least those fuckers move quickly.
We also hate children but I probably shouldn't admit that publicly.
Accounting:
Intuit products. They mislead people into thinking they are saving money by not paying an accountant or taking a class or two at the community college.
Depending on the situation, it can result in heavy fines and fees when the books or tax returns need to be corrected.
I know q-tips aren't safe or whatever but man it feels too good to stop.
Paramedics hate methamphetamine. And alcohol. And high voltage electrical current.
But we love people who injure themselves creatively.
Whoever is fixing your computer absolutely despises you if you're a smoker. Tar gets everywhere.
Teachers hate parents.
Vice versa
As a parent, I don't hate the teachers. Other kids parents need to get their shit together though. The amount of homophobia and racism casually thrown around by the other kids is appalling.
Apples unite them all
helpdesk and users
Video game content creators hate reading ( especially controls ).
Edit:
There are plenty of times I'll watch someone play a game and then get confused about how to do something in it because they either don't look at the controls in settings or breeze past it or don't read what a quest entails. They just play on in a braindead like trance and get confused and angry as to why the game that gives you everything you need to know doesn't tell them something vital like a certain control they need.
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
